Greece now in trouble over match fixing

http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/mattslater/2011/06/an_economy_in_pieces_a.html

Uefa sent the Hellenic Football Federation a file detailing 22 second-tier matches, played January-May 2009, which showed evidence of match-fixing.

This evidence came from the European governing body's "Betting Fraud Detection System" (BFDS), a service that uses computer analysis to find suspicious gambling patterns. A second file contained evidence of eyebrow-raising results in Greece's cup competition too.

Uefa watched and waited for a response from the Greek authorities. And then waited some more.

Six months and two further bundles of evidence later, the number of games to fail the BFDS test had grown to 39 and now included top-flight football and many of the country's biggest teams. And still Uefa waited for some flicker of concern in Greece.

If not resolved, UEFA likely to ban Greek clubs and the national team from European competition.

They would probably welcome that at the moment, as they wouldn't be able to afford the travel costs.......

So it's not just the Finns who Tampere with the results.
